Seems this is not Wireshark's bug. 
At firts, I have found that memory consumption is increased every time I make
Wireshark window active even no recording is openned.
After that I have rewrite main() function in the following way:

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
  top_level = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_widget_show(top_level);
  gtk_main();

Even such a simple window leaks memory during redrawing. Moreover bigger window
uses more memory. Maximal window is increased memory consumption by ~2MB after
redrawing.

What you suppose to do? Will you upgrade GTK+?

I hope I will hame time today to try old and new GTK+ on my damn XP machine
